Josee Poirier

Six months ago you donated to Feeding America through a fundraiser I organised. In return, I committed to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest free standing mountain in the world and the roof of Africa.

On March 8, with your support, I summited Kilimanjaro. The trek was incredible - loved every minute of my trip. The Tanzanian people is very warm and kind. Between the ''Pole pole'' 's (''slowly, slowly'' to acclimatise to the altitude) and the Hakuna Matata's (''don't worry'' -- yes, they actually DO say that!), they uplifted our spirits and made our experience on the mountain memorable.

It took a while to collect photos from my fellow climbers (apologies!), but here we are! I put together an album for you: http://www.curiousjosee.com/home/kilimanjaro/photos

Thanks to your generosity, we collectively provided 2,400 meals to individuals in need. I am amazed and humbled by this feat, and deeply appreciative for your contribution.
